The Walking Dead: 1. Secrets From the Season 8 Premiere - Today's News: Our Take. For a show obsessed with death, The Walking Deadsure has survived for a long time. When TV's biggest drama returns for its eighth season on October 2. To celebrate this momentous occasion, AMC invited a select group of press, including TV Guide, down to the show's Georgia based set during the filming of this landmark event.

Through observation of scenes, extensive talks with the cast, and an in- depth tour of the set, TV Guide was able to glean some surprising secrets about the show's past, present and future. With that in mind, I hope you have your s- -tting pants on, because here are one hundred secrets I learned from The Walking Dead's hundredth episode: 1. It Takes A Village. I mentioned above that TWD is obsessed with death — and yes, the gore and shocking demises are part of the package. But the aspect of the show that hooks fans more than anything else?

It's immediately apparent from the moment you hit the massive complex of sound stages, offices and practical sets that make up the production of The Walking Dead. It even extends to the guard gates: the day we visited was rainy and muddy and overcast, but the guards were decked out in "We Are The Walking Dead" t- shirts, and custom hats with "TWD" followed by the "1.

And everyone had a big smile on their face. Dead Inside, Inside. The first thing that greeted me in the production office?

The actual doors emblazoned with "Dead Inside" that greeted Rick when he woke up after a coma to find himself in the middle of the end of the world, from the premiere of the show.

More on that in a moment, but around the walls of the screening room are photos of the show's many, many fallen characters, with headshots of the actors and a number. That number is each actor's call number — given how many members of the cast there are, rather than yelling "Shane" or "Jon" or whatever, each actor is assigned a unique number; and just like a jersey number in sports, when the character leaves the show, that number is retired. See The Fabulous Conjoined Twins! The only double picture is one marked "Jotis," which ostensibly commemorates Otis (Pruitt Taylor Vince), the doomed farmhand from Season 2. The reason for the double pic?

The Sound Stages of Destiny. I don't believe in destiny," Walking Dead Executive Producer Tom Luse told reporters during a bus tour of the expansive grounds. But over 3. 0 years ago, the Lombardi family decided to build a movie studio in relatively remote Senioa, Georgia. Though a few productions were shot there, the 1.

Luse shot a few projects there, but while scouting for Hershel's farmhouse in Season 2, he rediscovered the complex. Now, Walking Dead is the only resident, and shoots, mixes and works on the show there "3. Thanks, Senoia. Another theme I heard over and over?

If TWD wasn't respectful of their neighbors, giving them heads up on when, say, there is a zombie attack, or massive gunfighting; and in return, the residents agree to not leak every detail of the uber- secretive show, the relationship wouldn't work.

The Leftovers. Immediately outside the main production offices is a graveyard. Actually, that's not exactly right.. It's more like a spare parts shop, as nearly nothing is thrown away on the show, and everything is recycled.
